Kürschner's manuals
Kürschner's handbooks , originally published by Joseph Kürschner (1853–1902), are a series of biographical reference works . Many entries are based on self-reports. Since the takeover by Saur-Verlag, Munich, a self-suggestion is also possible. The series emerged from Kürschner's German Literature Calendar , which first appeared in 1879.
